Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 192,852, dated July 10,1877; application filed May 31, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. VICTORY, 0f the city and county ofAlbany, and State of New York, have invented anew and useful Improvementon Wire Bale-Ties, of which the following is a full and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making apart of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a plan View of a loopof the hale-tie; Fig. 2, a side elevation; and Fig. 3, a transversesection at the lines X X.

My invention consists in securing the end of the wire forming the loop,or to which the fastening device is attached, in the manner herein shownand described.

As shown in the drawing, A is the loop of a wire bale-tie, having theend a of the wire bent back so as to lie close to the body of the madeof malleable metal, which, before it is secured to its place, may beeither of a tubular, flat; or partially bent form, and which binds thetwo parts of the wire firmly together. When the fastening deviceconsists of a supplemental piece, this clamp may be made an integralpart thereof by casting two thin standing flanges thereon, which, whenbent over to encompass the wires, secures them together. After theclamp-piece B is fixed in its proper position the end a of the wire isturned back over it, so as to prevent its displacement, and the wirefrom being drawn out from it.

I claim as my invention- Ehe combination, with the loop or otherfastening of a wire hale-tie, of the clamp-piece B, substantially as andfor the purpose herein specified.

CHARLES H. VICTORY.
